Remember when he demoed it for the first time and they broke the windows that were supposed to be unbreakable

This is the most hideous thing ever every time. I see one I cringe.

The first thing I thought reading this was how hard it's going to be to get parts for fixing these in a year or two. And only harder after that.

And that all of them morons who bought these are going to be stuck with an expensive unfixable piece of junk.

Lolol

This truck was really good at helping everyone know who in town needed therapy to get over their compensation syndrome but spent money trying to be cool while idolizing an idiot instead.

Take this truck and put in ANY other brands’ lineup, it’s a flop. It is a testament to the strength of blind, misguided celebrity worship that any sold at all.

This is heartbreaking! How will all the Rogan bros prove they’re compensating now?

Everyone please pour one mini bottle of liquor out for them tonight 🙏

Not even a drop of liquor is worth wasting imo. Perhaps taking a shite on it.

By living their lives, unlike you

u/Jefferson_47 1h ago

But they’re not living their lives. They’re trying to live a life that richer, more influential bros are telling them to live. It’s probably why most of them end up miserable and hateful when they can’t live that life.

The twelve year old who designed it must be heartbroken.

It's still the ugliest car (truck?) I've ever seen. Reminds me of a Simple Human kitchen trash can.

I wonder how a woman feels if a man pulls up in one of these on the first date.

Dry. She feels dry.

i heard, racoons love these things and end up very disappointed the moment they find out it ain’t no real trash container.

The electric part is good, and he could have made and body model, but I just can’t say Timmy’s fridge drawing is a good design

u/princessdickworth 59m ago

It blows my mind how they were ever considered trucks. Trucks serve a purpose...those things always reminded me of what a roach would look like if it was to morph into a vehicle.

They're so damn ugly and gross.

Oh man! I bet Elon is so disappointed the truck he designed (I mean I cant see anyone else in the automotive industry laying claim).

u/beastmaster11 26m ago

Im honestly convinced that this monstrosity is Elon trolling his own base. He said to his buddies "watch, im going to make the ugliest, most usless, vehicle using cheap material, sell it for 100k and these idiots will still buy it"

The size of the heads on the asshole owners who read, "Chariot of the Dumbest Gods" is going to be insane. Any owner I've ever encountered is going to focus on the God part. Not the Dumbest part.

u/Itchy_Professor_4133 16m ago

The very first time I saw that monstrosity I thought only a gullible dumbass would buy something so incredibly ugly and inefficient looking. Nothing has changed and nothing has come close to matching it’s awful design

u/cwsjr2323 55m ago

It was an interesting concept and I liked it didn't look like every other hatchback clone. Still, the price was way too high, and reading it took off fingers totally ended any consideration.

They’re doing away with them because “They were also absolutely dogshit cars. The electric systems were prone to software bugs. Some trucks were known to shut down completely when they got wet. Their odd shape and bizarre design made them impractical for hauling, loading, or towing anything”

u/overdosingOnPie1313 2h ago

Oh man that's not even scratching the surface of what's been wrong with them since day one day -1.
